Man Arrested In Connection To Florida Mother Of Three's Shooting Death

Police say a man was arrested Tuesday in connection with the death of a woman killed by a stray bullet in December. 

Police said Donald Elex Young, 52, fired the shot that killed 43-year-old Alicia Roundtree.

The mother of three was driving home from work along Northwest 183rd Street near 24th Avenue just before 8 p.m. on Dec. 9 when she was fatally wounded.

Before Roundtree was killed, someone in a car fired a BB gun at Young's car as he was driving along Northwest 22nd Avenue, police said. The shooter fled the scene, but Young tracked down the vehicle and another car to the parking lot of North Dade Regional Library at 2455 NW 183rd St., police said.

Police said Young fired multiple shots with a handgun at the two cars. One of the bullets struck Roundtree, killing her, police said.

Young faces charges of first-degree murder and seven counts attempted first-degree murder.
